The Joint has a structure around it which is present as a lining in the Joint. This is called Synovium. The function of Synovium is to produce Synovial fluid which provides nourishment and lubrication to the Joint.

A disease affecting the Synovial lining can't be found in patients where different types of treatment have failed. The synovial biopsy is done to know definitively about the condition.

Mostly arthroscopic Synovial biopsy is performed now. Since recovery is relatively fast and a very small amount is cut/ incision is used for biopsy.

Synovectomy is the removal of the Synovial lining of the joint partially or entirely.

Synovectomy is indicated in a condition involving Synovial lining

Where the patient has tried all treatments and relieved of symptoms like

1. Rest
2. Painkillers
3. Steroid injections
4. Physiotherapy

Inflammatory arthritis like

1. Rheumatoid arthritis
2. Juvenile chronic arthritis
3. Systemic lupus erythematosus
4. Post-infectious monoarthritis
5. Transient synovitis
6. Infection of Joint
7. Hemophilic arthritis

Stiffness of Joint

Synovectomy can be done

• Arthroscopic Synovectomy 
  This involves Synovectomy with the help of an arthroscope and has excellent results, as Synovectomy is done with tiny incisions, so recovery is relatively quick.
•  Open Synovectomy 
  This involves giving a cut over Joint and opening of Joint afterwards, performing.
  Synovectomy.

If performed with proper indication, Synovectomy has good results. Further treatment for the underlying disease has to be continued to prevent further damage to the joints.

The destruction of joints will occur due to arthritis development. In late cases replacement of the Joint will be required.

No, Synovectomy prevents mutual destruction, but underlying disease treatment should continue so other joints are unaffected.

It depends on the hospital category chosen by patients, which is discussed. At Simpainortho.com, we have tried to reduce the cost of surgery and hospital expenses and include complete after-surgery services, which patients require after surgery because we know treatment doesn't end at the patient's discharge. To ensure the quick recovery of patients in simpainortho.com, a patient requires expert care within the most comfortable surroundings until he can join routine activities. So, we have made different packages for different patients according to need, and that too at the most affordable prices.

Yes, most of the insurances have included Synovectomy.
